Lmao I have the same CPU as you and now an R9-290.



This one.

If you want a cheaper nvidia you can do what I did and periodically check the evga bstock cards.

Have you tried rolling back your driver?

Did a little more research -- mostly forum posts of people with similar problems, and of course the thread ends with no resolution. (side rant: if you ever post on a forum for help, for the love of Christ, follow up on the thread and let people know how you fixed it, even if the fix was "I replaced it.")

Someone suggested downloading the HIS iTurbo program, which as an option to "disable 2D clocks" and it worked for this person. LINK

Disabling 2D clocks basically tells the vbios to always run at full clock speed no matter what's running. If that setting still causes you to throttle to 500Mhz, you may have a hardware problem -- either GPU or power supply, or less likely, the PCIe slot.

If you do run this program, don't open afterburner at all. If the problem still persists using the HIS program, I would uninstall afterburner and all of its profile settings completely.

Also, did you use Atiman to wipe your drivers? If not, try that as well before reinstalling drivers.

And, what are your Power Settings in windows? Specifically, PCIe Link State Power Management

Used atiman, loaded beta drivers, launched inquisition, crashed during first cinematic.

Same frame rate issues with origins

Arkham city is fine, hl2 is fine.

Diablo ran like garbage

Work is killing me this week. Nov was our year end and I am closing the books, sales meeting yesterday and today. Last night we all went bowling, to a bar, and ended the night at the adult super store. Tonight is the Xmas party until midnight. We only have about 25 people and the booze bill last night was $850, I have $900 worth of liquor and beer in my trunk right now.

I just want some time to play a damn game.

I may need that $900 worth of booze

Anyone else enjoying the fckk out of FC4? (If you have a system and 1440+ display). The game makes you not even worry about campaign missions.

Still... #PS4 tLoU:R and #nVidia

Titans have been gone since this time last year, just have 780 Tis and a 980 for my living room Steam Box.

Rest of the house have AMD cards just for Steam Streaming.

Sorry... Wii U Hyrule Warriors and tLoU:R have been much more fun anyway.

Just did, it didn't work.
